Tear It Up!

In December of 2005, the NYU Vice President of Student Affairs and the Director of Athletics, Intramurals and Recreation met with athletic team leaders, captains and members of the NYU Student Athlete Advisory Committee to discuss what could be done to:

Enhance a sense of community between the varsity teams;

Develop a greater connection between student-athletes and other student groups on campus; and,

Build community on campus through increased attendance at selected athletics contests.

Now Tear It Up! is excited to launch its fifth year with nine events and looking to bring even more opportunities for the NYU community to enjoy athletics for free.

Tear It Up! events take place at select varsity competitions throughout both semesters. At every Tear It Up! competition, there is FREE food and often select giveaways for all NYU students. And you'll have the best seats in the house to exciting athletic events that feature YOUR classmates in action. In addition to the giveaways, Tear It Up! events boast exclusive student cheering sections, raffles and contests. You don’t need to be an athlete to reap the benefits of Tear It Up! Your NYUID card guarantees you access to all the action!
